He's due any moment, I keep looking through that door just in case you turned out., Well, if we stop in the middle, it's because Tom Hanks has just turned up, you will understand why. We've got obviously lots of questions about Toy Story fiveive and all tooy stories that have gone before. One, two, three and four. Yeah. But we're going to get deeper into those huge, unifying roles he's played across absolute decades of one of the best all time careers in cinema. We' got stuff about Aston Villa. We got his favorite tank I'm incredibly excited to talk to him and thank you for arming us with such amazing questions as well. I hear a noise in the corridor, so Mrter Tom Hanks is on his way, please let us compose ourselves and enjoy this episode. on it. Welcome. You have been playing Woody were over thirty years. And our first question comes from Steph Allen, and she says, When you first joined the cast of Toy Story, did you have any inkling of how successful Pixar and specifically the Toy Story franchise would end up being? They were explaining it to us as though it was a volatile mixture that could blow everybody's fingers off if we didn't do it right. It was this technology of animation that wasn't hand drawn on cells by artists that it was going to be this, well we can show you sort of what it looks like and it should all come together. They kept saying should, we hope, maybe. But the as the guy look My job is to inhabit something that is not myself The only thing that I saw was about twelve seconds of a line from a movie called Turnurn Hoch in which I'm screaming at a dog. It was a thing where I was like, Don't eat the car, don't eat the car. And they animated Woody, as you know, Woody right now. It was just him against a blue background. And they like, seeee what we can do with a f? And it was all this elbows and fists and outrage What have you? And I said Wow You want me Sure. And then for the next two hours, they kept explaining to me what the process was and what the story was going to be. And I said, guys, I'm good. Yeah I don't I'm in. I just tellell me where to show up. I'm gonna do some acting. That's it. The thing that then was actually a great part of the process was and this I gott to give this up to power should be h certainly John Lasser at the time that he was a, you know, the head of head of Pixar and all of the whole Pixar team, this phalanx of folks that never stopped testing material We did about eighty percent of a movie that they threw out they put it together And they said, there is something intrinsically wrong with the DNA that we started off with And they I guess they made a painful callall to us all saying, everything you've done, we're going to start all over from scratch was. And I said Okay, All right, fine. And then in out it came a whole different relationship between Woody and Buzz and our original characters as well. And I had to say I had to give that up to's a that's a pretty bold throw in order to make on something that they just wanted to get right And by the time you get to see the finished thing I would just say, I can't believe that I'm in something that is as fascinating as this. Is it quite a rare throw in Hollywood to throw things out like that in your experience eighty percent of a movie Yeah, That's Yeah. I can understand. you know those first three days of shooting, we're gonna to reshoot that Yeah. And I know that there are some filmmakers that build in two weeks of reshoots into theual the actual budget. But you know, the finaners is so absolutely insane, as well as I guess in some ways the egos that would be involved that make Pixar different There are other times once you get the template down, you've got it and it's all going to work and they're going to put it all together. The fact that they all go back and I guess in some sort of like hot house boiler room atmosphere, they just test it and test it and test it. amongst themselves, not a you a screening thing. they just, are we doing this right? And they all draw these animatics and their're storybards that are magnificent But that they were willing to say this isn't what we originally intended to be. That's a deep throw as far as I'm concerned. And God bless them. And I'm going to assume now that that testing process is now built into all of the other ones, which is why it takes so damn long to shoot these things and them get them done. It's like it's two and a half years, you know, of my involvement in it about every six months I have a question from Charlotte who says this will not be unfamiliar to you. When I watched Toy Story three in that now infamous scene with the enormous incinerator. I sobbed with my child and promised her that I'd never throw away her toys Seventeen years later, I still have every single one What do you struggle to let go of? asks Charlotte. Oh, my Lord. You've got philosophical at the end there, Yeah just a little bit. I'm trying to get into this combination. you know the book by Marie Condo you know, clearing out your closet. I try to give up anything that does produce joy, that does not produce joy in my hand.. You've started with the stuff that produces joy. Yeah is I keep the joy thing as best I can. But then you combine that with the diabolical sounding Swedish death cleaning?. Which is not. Let's talk about that, Jo. And some combination between there, I will literally force myself to give up the sweatshirt that I wore the day I moved my third son into college that I bought at the, you know, the bookstore that day. that I must say I still have those. So you can't get rid of some of that stuff. And it's not because it looks good or It doesn't have holds in it. It's because no, you don't understand. I spent a very important day wearing this Yeah, you know, back in nineteen, whatever it was. Well, that's the interesting part of Charlotte's question, I think, because you have through this character and through this incredible franchise been part of so many childhoods. and of course parents is a huge part of those childhood. you must get a sense of how much these films mean to people More so, I think than anything else Anything else you've done? Well, it's because of the volume. And it's because there are now. I was talking with Tim. It's like it's a shame that there's a number that is attached to any of these movies. D you just call it, here's the next Toy story movie or you know, another tooy story, five, Fower, three, two, one, whatever it goes There is a contract that you always have with the audience anyway, right And they never forget the first time they saw The movie Yeah, whatever it comes down to But they see it in a different way when they are six Or sixteen But now we are into fifty six year old people. that arere talking about the first time they saw Woody and Buzz together and how much it meant them and how they go back to it again and again and again and again. And it produces these same feelings along with Relection of all the wisdom that they have since acquired because they now have kids that were their age and they saw it the first time. I don't discount the power of cinema because I have that my own reference in my head for individuals that I'm, you know might meet because they were in and they were in a movie that I saw when I was eighteen old. Can you think of specific examples of people even like I met ire Delay you know, who is in two thousand one of Space Odyssey, and I become a babbling fool. That's amazing. And I tell him I've seen two thousand one of Space Odyssey one hundred nineteen times and I've always seen something different. Can I ask you, please a question about when you were running upside down, you know, that kind of stuff. And it's very wonderful And that When I am in an elevator with someone who has a six year old child in tow And they are trying to explain that this guy who got on on the fourth floor is woody And you can't that this does just simply does not compute until I get the kid to close their eyes. And then and then I say imagine think of Woody now, canan you see him? All right. Well, Oh my God, here we are in the elevator at the same time. And you see their face just kind of like explode in this recognition and joy. You don't discount that. is That is the production of high art and a very, very personal moment between you and A six year old or a fifty six year old. But it's part of maybe a shrinking mainstream culture. You've always been interested in those kind of big, unifying roles that lots of Americans can buy into. Is it harder to find those roles in a much more fractured? as you know you always go back to, you know this has come up periodically as you know some brand of new technology becomes the habit of how we experience these one on one things. Without a doubt, there is, I think, a greater power now to those fewer and fewer things that garner all of our attention more or less at the same time because of, you know, I can entertain myself, anybody can entertain this if they want to all day long in three minute increments, you know, on whatever they tend to swipe through. So the power of that union of a individual experience that you actually share with two hundred or sixteen hundred strangers at the same time in the same room, or maybe just talk about after you've all been able to see it, it will always be here. It will always be a part of the consciousness I go back to periods of time when Most of culture was aware of a great opera or a great Shakespearean play. and it just becomes more diffused. And eventually there's just less and less of those what the grand unifying moments, GUMs. Let's call them that.. The grand unifying moments of no matter what your age, no matter what culture is, even even no matter what language that you speak that Binds us binds everybody together and what let's just call it art for the for the sake of what art can do. We'll call it Grand Unifying moment pictures. We call it gump for sure. that's helpful. Oh myord, wrrite that down. Yeah. there' quick staff. By the way, not not a bad example of that. really an example of it. And you know when that happens, all you can do is bow your head in humble submission. You know, funny if I've got a question from Neil Anderson, which actually talks about your personal role in that sort of phenomenon. He says there's a graphic that's doing the rounds showing your nineties run and it's frankly ridiculous Philadelphia, Forest Gump a Podo thirteen, Toy Story, Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile Castaway. At the time, were you aware you were in the middle of this once in a generation golden run? orr did you just feel like I'm making the next film? Was there something magic? Not I felt fortunate in that these things came along and I was fascinated by the subject That was it And the alliances that went into all of those because dare I say it, sometimes you think you're making the same movie and you are are you are making some other film that somebody else that is not not the same thing. Also too, I think you can kind of look back on that. I always from my age, I think the seventies were this great Yolen age because you could have antiheroes and know gritty stories that ended as tragedies, but everybody remembers them as great films. The nineties might have been the last great swing of that, even though the commerce of it certainly drove it. The money numbers drove everything, the beginning of sequels and franchises and what have you. came about during those eras, but I just felt I mean, the last movie I made in the nineteen hundreds going into two thousand was Castaway, you know, And that was about as daring a swing in every way, creatively, financially, cinematically that anybody could take. We all felt that, hey, we're getting away with this. And in some ways, all those movies that you mentioned, we were getting away with something that we thought, well, isn't this what the art form you know, can render to you if you If you so want to test yourself That and the economics of making movies, I think were're matching at that place. and that match, I don't think exists in the same way. Do you think you're part of that? Because one of the things about making difficult cinema is if you've got a big mainstream presence in the middle of it who you trust, you can get away with an awful lot more I think that trust is part of it Um Alas, I think, I think mystery might be the bigger thing like what's What's he going to do in this and I don't know if I have a lot of mystery versus versus countenance and all that, but I will say this about all of those. they were one offs Yeah And I had high powered executives say to me No one wants to see a movie about Apollo thirteen because we know how it ends And I just thought, well, in that case, no one will ever see Star Wars or Casablanca or Citizen Kane ever again. because you And so there was it was kind of like a zeitgeist that was constantly being being tested. But you know, out of outside of Toy Story. Yeah, there were no there' no sequels in there Yeah You know, each one of those were individual one off films that had no reason to go. I always made this joke and said P peopleople say,, you've always Your films are always like you just keep making the same hopeful non cynical films again and again. I said say Yes. I say Yes, you are correct. I do try to take my button off the cynical default mode button. I tr try to do that. But there's also a version of my career in which I could be sitting here right now and saying, you know, I'm going to tell you right now that Forest Gump twelve is a much better movie than Forest Gump ten or eleven more. And that didn't happen because it couldn't sustain anything beyond what we did. And oddly enough, it's a shame that These Toy story movies have numbers attached to them Because they just should call them the next Toy Story movie because it warrants the investment of the audience with a filmmaker. Yeah. So we're not going to get Apollo fourteen. That's what we' th. We would answer all the questions left unanswered by Apollourgeon Tom just please hold on a moment while we'll go to some adverts This episode is brought to you by Lloyds.

Now we are talking to Mr. Tom Hanks This is from Patrick Farrell, who says you've been the face of so many defining moments in cinematic history, as you've just been telling us. Peaked in the nineties, I like to say. peeaked in the nineties. At this point in your career when you walk onto a film set on day one, what's the one thing that still genuinely surprises or challenges you? compleomte total terror of losing the battle against self loathing that has to start when you get up get up in the morning The test really is of the grand ensemble of the crew, the people who are making the movie every day It's hard it's hard work, you know, it can grind you down because if at the end of the forty seventh day of shooting in the fourteenth hour of the day, you still have to capture an emotional bit of lightning in a bottle that is going to last forever, whether you do it well or not whether you land on that level of authenticity that makes it real or if youre just try ust try Where do you want me to look? You know, what laser point am I supposed to look? And If you don't If you don't traverse that barrier You're a failure. You know, You're no good at your job. And it's not just for me. it's also for everybody whose job is relying on the fact that, yes My costume does reflect the theme of what we're doing. Yes. my hair yes, the guy on the other side of the camera who's lying, he is delivering when we get his side of it, he is going to have to get to or she are going to have to that same place. So there remains forever a terrifying moment of Am I going to be escorted off the set and off the lot because the a the authenticity police have dubbed me a crook, you know, because you don't do it anymore So that's the great thing that we all share that. I I just made this movie in Australia And it's the second Greyhound movie. it's about World War two and I'm a I'm a commander of a of a destroyer being attacked and it's, you know, what it's one damn thing after another and it's hell on the high sea. And it's as serious as World War two itself was, all right. And so we're there. and I'm doing this and I'm doing the barking these incredibly complex orders that I've had to study for weeks and understand what they actually mean and get the nomenclature down And there was a fellow there playing a seaman, you know, he's in a sailor suit and he's grimy and he's burnt up because we've been under attack. And he's working on the movie for two weeks. And All those people have a very important job for those two weeks. They have to inhabit this very specific task again and again and again and again and again and again, whether I'm right or not, you know, whether I the blow the lines or not and I'm pret I'm And I'm doing was an Australian fellow. and we're doing it again and again and again. And he happened to be the guy that walked through every take, right? And we were finally done. We did this thing when, all right, we're moving on, we would ring a bell. Ding, all right, we finally got that. we got to move on. And when I went ding and rang the bell, he said to me Every time I walk by, all I hear is woody You know, it' sort All right, that's the that's the agreement that we made in all of this and hopefully the suspension of disbelief that actors and playwrights and directors and audiences have been utilizing since Eschylus wrote plays, you know at Epidavos. Hopefully that'll kick in and the magic will work question here from H No other details about name. You play so many different roles in your career. whichich of them do you think you would get on with best in real life? How do you think you would get on with Woody Oh no, he'd drive me nuts. Yeah. No, no. we would be in a continuous competition of who's in charge. It would not would it would not be good. the voices are so similar. And the voice Yeah. Yeah, and he's taller than I am and that, you know, I your. I wouldn't Yeah. exactly. I would literally say he's saying the stuff that's going through my head head. How come he gets credit for credit for doing this, I would be sulking, you know back in the toy box if I was, you know, a toy myself. It will not surprise you that a huge number of Aston Villa fans have How about that? That's what theyd like Brendaaction. Yeah. Now I'm going to tell you something right now. I don't it's a very it's a very odd route that brought me, you know, to Villa Park. Yes. And I have been to Villip Park a number of times. And there is nothing greater for an American to have English premiership team and locked into their soul. And I have I have had I've had discussions with Leeds fans and I just feel sorry for them because they're not Astonvilla But I will also say this, I you become a fan of a team for the rest of your life thinking that Once I die They will finally win. You know, when I'm no longer with us. It will not happen in my lifetime, but I will carry I will carry the, you know, the clare in the blue for as long as I can. and I will pass it on when the time comes. and then they will win the UEFA Cper. What now. So yeah.es because you to do sequels. I feel bad that someone who just has adopted Asonvilla as their team now is say, well, where do you go now You know, you gott to be disappointed.. I have been living with this grand hope since I did my first press junket in England in nineteen eighty five in which I fell in love with this team that I saw on a BBC football scoreboard, you know, theyll we Oh you know and took, you know, uppton Sells too ear. you know, they have all these odd Queen's Px rrangers took on Crystal Pals said, whereere are these teams? I have no idea. And then one came up and it was called Astonville. It says that sounds like that sounds like an island off of the Ceejour. It's like is that what that is that near, you know, a Portofino Astonville And so I says, my favorite team is Aston Villa because I know it's in Birminghad, but it sounds like it's in the middle of the Mediterrane. So that's how long I've been rooting for something. And all those years of just saying, I H I hop we werere gonna avoid. Be that was just after their last huge success was join. Yeah. Now we won Europe in eighty two. So here we are again. and here's the great thing. It happened in my lifetime. Yeah. I'm so thrilled. Brenda's question, by the way, is saying as you know, you've won in Europe. willill John McGinn, Scotland be your backup team for the World Cup? Okay. Yeah sure. You bet. You bet last, the World Cup for me is going to be Greece because that's where we always are during the World Cup. It's a summertime. more or less something. But I will tell you, this odd thing happens in the world. where're suddenly We have to be at the Diverna in time for the kickoff between Luxembourg and Croatia because suddenly those I don't want to say some version of the ugly mutt team, you know, or the, you know, the dog with the cutoff tail becomes the dog that you're rooting for in oro. I am Suringam anngola. I have Please, surnam. please Please. And this is the thing that I think one of the reasons why Americans have taken to what you call football and we call soccer is because we figured out the great drama in a two one soccer match going into going into extra time. We know that our hearts will either be broken or swell with pride based on something that might happen if the ball is just in the right place at the right time Another super Kqu, James Regan says, Like Tom, I'm a lifelong obsessive of the Second World War, a simple question, What is his favorite tank Oh wow, o my Lord. You know, I was amazed. I'd I ask this question of experts because the American Sherman tank looks like a toy compompared to the Cromwells or the Panzers and whatnot. I said, What was the deal with them? This guy said, We just had a lot more of them. Volume. The Sherman Tank was a volume business, you know, not a huge bore, you know, you know, gun monitors. We just had a lot of them said, Oh, okay, all right, thank you for very. So'm going I'm going to say that rounded, kind of like odd bols typewriter looking kind of tank that's like a lot of people turned up in, you know, whatever Another one from Delise, who would win a table tennis match between Forrest and Marty Supreme? I think she thinks Forrest all day long. Oh all day long. without without without a doubt, withithout a doubt. I mean, Forrest could play Yeah Forst could play ping pong with both hands. He was ambedectrouous man, you know I think it would be close I think it would be watchable Yeah It very watchable. It be payer view. Oh,, we'd make a fortune. We'd make a we'd make a bloody fortune. but I think u, you know I don't know how much affection you know, Marty Supreme would but he didn't play for a national team, did he? He was just out No, he was out for himself Marty Supreme. come on, there's something altruistic there. Meghan Pollock has a question. Do you think any of the characters you have played have fundamentally changed you as a person? I think they all have over the course of it because u If you're lucky, you get involved about a year before you start playing it and you start carrying it around inside of yourself And the specific expertise of a lot of these characters are quite amazing. Like Richard Phillips and Captain Phillips. I think the best film of the twenty first century. bless in my opinion. God bless. And that came about because Richard was willing to invest in me a dispassionate examination of his absolute being completely worn down to a granular puddle of a human being by this experience, And to realize that there was a guy out there who up to that point was essentially trying to keep track of all the union complaints on board his ship, that's one aspect of it. will I will tell you this that u you didn't have Mr. Rogers growing up. And it was a fascinating guy to get to know and everybody I talked to had nothing but every single person said both the same thing about Fred as well as a unique thing that was just between the two of us And he I didn't consider myself to be a particularly spiritual man. I have a religion of heritage and, you know tradition and what have you, but he said something that I think was ridiculously profound that I have since adopted and it only came about because I played Fred Roggers in Someone asked him about, you know, he was he was an ordained minister and his his his flock was a bunch of two and three year olds who were watching us watching his stubish them. And someone asked me someone asked him about prayer And he said he said, Ohh, no, no, no. he said, I pray every day And they said, really, really, well, what is your prayer? How do you pray? And they said, Well, anybody can pray and it only takes three words Thank you, God I heard that and I said, this is what has been missing in my life. And that's the way I begin or end or take apet of stock every day in order to say those three words and it covers everything As' thank God Thank you for this pain in the ass that I'm dealing with right now, or thank you for this moment of joy that I would not have had if I were not in the right place at the right time One from Ellie Jagar, I love this question. She says, I'm a piano teacher and sometimes my students can be so scared of making mistakes. I keep telling them we learn through our mistakes, but I wonder if there's any examples of mistakes you've made in your career that felt monumental at the time, but in hindsight we were actually a good thing. You know, I will say yes, the thing that is oddly cruel is that People say, was was what was your most what was the best movie you've made or that? and it all comes down to what was the what was the most amazing? experience that it can go over the course of those eight months or you know, sixteen weeks or whatever it is And even though the film is not known to be quote unquote, a commercial hit or what have you They are all such Profound experiences of success and failure. You know what I mean? And I do not watch these movies after the first time, really, because they never change. And there there are there are movies that have moments in it that I cannot watch because I didn't get there. And sometimes these are the big moments. I simply did not get there and I know it. and I was confounded by any number of things. Would you have an example of one of those that S There is a moment Okay, yeah, I'll tell you, there is a moment in that it was painful for me in Castaway in which I am back and Chuck is back in Kelly's house. and he gives her his her watch back And there's a moment where I just think I'm not there. There's all it is is a turnaround on me. but I do this gesture that I just think is false. and is me and is not Chuck And it is little if the movie is on, I will get up and leave the room before that scene comes. Did you know when it was happening? or did you No, I did not. No, it wasn't until I actually saw it when it went down And I think that, oh, we were just moving on there and I wasn't there. Are you able, at least to be able to give yourself credit when you see something where you did hit it? The only time that that happens is when I have no recollection of it whatsoever The odd thing think about movies and this'll go back to the TV series I was on on television they called Bosom buddies. me and a guy named Peter Scalaria was in it. When I happen to land on a couple of minutes of an old episode of Bosom buddies, I remember all of Peter's lines I have no idea what I say next, but because I was watching him do it, we were so close and we were so tight. So the only time it happens was I don't remember doing that But it's not a thing. I can't linger on that. I don't sit there and say, o, watch this movie, watch this moment that comes up. we really nail that. I look at and all I can say is I was cold You know, it looks like I'm warm. I was really freezing that day, you know, something like that. Or that beard was sticky, you know, I can say things like that. Tom, it's been an absolute pleasure. to you. Thank you so much. We had so many questions for you and I just want to say from all of our listeners and from ourselves, the joy you've brought people, and I know it's hard for you to watch yourself on screen and see what it is you're doing, but you have brought people together and the incredible body of work that you've done You've been part of so many people's lives for so long, Toy story but also in the incredible movies you've done. And so it's always nice for us on our listen just to be able to say Thank you for you've done. Thank you so much. A Are't we lucky to have this coo job of yours? You know, We don't notice any of your mistakes. You know, no matter what's going on, there is a moment in all these movies when everybody on this set, no matter, you know, what the we all just kind of look at each other and say Well I would do this for free sandwiches and haircuts. wouldouldn't you? And we all sort of would. Yeah. So well, thank you very much Thank you. Thank' very. Thank you So they taken Tom off. That was fun It was it's funny, he mentions movies and you're like, Ohh yeah, you know you did that other iconic one. He's done it's extraordinary. He's like an actual last movie star. Well when we did the question where we through Neil's Question where we go through that list of movies, but then you think you can go before that and after it and still have like incredible lists of these movies. But the end of the nineteen hundreds as he call those. Yeah, I love that But I love doing this format where the listeners ask the questions because it's, you know, it's it's such a lovely way of doing it because we're not no one's trying to fool anybody It's it's a really you just get very interesting things out of people. Yeah. and people, especially with someone like that who is all about trying to bring people together Yeah, asking people just question to the people who watched the films is so much better than any form of a And he was a dude as well, right? Yeah. I mean, right at the end you could see that the publicist has opened the door just to make sure that he knew he's on his way out. and he's wanted to keep talking just soly. But I know business's on TV. Yeah yeah yeah, exactly. T a look at that on YouTube But yeah, I mean what I mean, a genius as an actor. I said that in the middle of that I think Captain Phillips is the best movie of the twenty first century, which I think it is But I know that people at home might have a different opinion on that Well, if you don' think I'm going straight home to find the little bit and castaway where supposedly It makes a great mistake. What an icon. Yeah, that was fantastic. That was a real treat, But thank you very much, listeners because Jenuary sent so many questions, I'm sorry if we could't get to yours, but it makes such a difference. and it makes people sort of realise how loved they are as well.
